PROCESS FOR PLUMBING SKILLS ASSESSMENT

The process is broken up into three stages. Plumbing is a licensed trade so employers in Australia will insist you hold your Australian Plumbing Qualification for registration and insurance purposes. It’s also important to know that each state and territory in Australia has different regulations and if you require a builders license you will need to obtain a Certificate 111 in prior to applying for your builders license. Plumbers must do a Practical exam for their Skills Assessments and they can be done in Blackburn (Lancashire) or London.
